Designer Notes
The Naga strider is widely associated with the Republic itself as it is often featured in various Republican propoganda works. The Long Fang variant is used to provide deadly fire support to units in the field, no matter the environment. To this end, the Naga has been equipped with twin SRWI Thunder 90mm field guns, which have a longer range than the anti-tank missiles usually carried by the basic machine. Both guns are fed by cylindrical magazines which can be quickly replaced by fresh ones by a field engineering unit such as the Stone Mason. The weight and voume of the field guns have impaired the otherwise good maneuverability and speed of the Naga, but since it is not expected to close in with the enemy this, is not considered a fatal flaw. The legs still fold underneath the main chassis of the strider, turning the unit into a squatter wheeled "urban tank" for ground movement. Even with the extra recoil compensators and gyroscopes installed in the legs and gun mounts, the use of this configuration is required to fire the guns, less the recoil knocks the strider on its back each time it fires. Three tiny arms placed on the main body bear sensor pods, allowing the Naga to look over prepared positions without exposing its hull to enemy fire. If a forward spotter is available, the Long Fang Naga need not even do this, since both guns have indirect fire capacity (though they do not benefit from forward laser designating, unlike the Naga's usual guided missiles, without requiring expensive guided shells).
